Hi, first, off the top of my head, is the linux symlink in /usr/src
pointing to the right kernel (the one you are using): alsa uses this
symlink to determine where it should install its modules.
I had a problem just like yours a while ago. Here's my debug
procedure for alsa (it's kind of a works for me solution, but worth a
try, it's not designed to actually solve anything, but to acquire
enough onformation to pinpoint the problem) :
1) If you are using any kind of xdm disable them (they tend to call
for the modules, hence load them and do not resort to the alsasound
script).
2) Remove the startup script (alsasound) from the boot runlevel.
3) reboot the machine.
4) run alsasound by hand :
4.1) Does it complain that the modules are already loaded ?
If so, another app needs sound and insmods the
modules before you lauched the script, and possibly before the script
is run when in the runlevel. Check that, and ask the app to be
launched after the script
4.2) If script runs flawlessly, start X and xmms. If any sound
server is enabled, disable it (we are tryong to have as few
interfering sound app as possible), and restart X. Do not
forget to check in the alsamixer if the channels are
unmuted. Run xmms, load the alsa plugin. Does xmms output
sound ? If not, make sure that the snd-pcm-oss and
snd-mixer-oss modules are present, and try the oss plugin,
does it work ? (make sure that you did NOT compile any oss
support inside the kernel !!).
5) If the above did not work, try insmoding the modules by hand, and
playing sound from xmms.
6) Try the esd or arts plugins from gnome or kde.
You should now have enough information to pinpoint the problem. If
not, could you send any unexpected output you got.
One last thing, it can help to launch xmms from a console in order to
get the debug messages.
HTH, good luck,
Jonathan
